Chapter 224: The Association for Selling Intelligence
After understanding the rules and risks of the arena, Shu Li temporarily gave up the idea of making money from competitive games.
There is no way. They are currently disguised as magic apprentices, and their level is not high enough to participate in the magic hall competition.
Human magic swordsmen are rare, and one as good as Seleu only appears once every fifty years.
If they copied Seleu's magic sword dual cultivation route, it would probably not work.
How could it not attract attention if a rare profession is suddenly mass-produced?
Therefore, they should just do their daily tasks and simple adventure tasks honestly, work hard to "improve" their magic level, and strive to become official magicians within one or two years.
Experience is not something that can be achieved overnight.
In the stories of training told by Elsa and the goblins, which protagonist did not train for one or two hundred years?
For example, Chris, who left the Fairy Forest eighteen years ago, has not been heard from since.
Thinking of him, Shu Li tentatively asked Seryuu, who was taking the bus back to the magic academy with him.
"Is there a student named Chris in our college?"
With Danlov in charge of the courtyard, the first stop for fairies arriving on the mainland is basically to become students at the Saint Villiers School of Magic, and Chris should be no exception.
Seryu entered the magic academy eighteen years ago and might have been a classmate of Chris.
"Chris?" Seleu thought for a moment and shook his head. "There are quite a few students named Chris. What are the physical characteristics of the one you're looking for?"
"Uh..." This question stumped Shu Li.
Fairies disguise themselves when they go out, and he doesn't know what Chris looks like now.
The other little goblins looked at each other, all looking embarrassed.
Facing Seryu's questioning gaze, Shu Li scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Well... Chris left the village over a decade ago. I can't quite remember what he looked like."
"We were very young when he left," Angel added.
"He loved playing pranks," Budno said, puffing out his cheeks. "He often made us cry when we were little."
Dixie frowned: "I won't talk about such an embarrassing thing."
"Hehe." Siti and Nasha covered their mouths and laughed.
Budno's cheeks flushed slightly.
Kumandi took out a notebook and a pen, quickly sketched a person's face, and after a few minor refinements, he drew the Chris in his memory.
"It looks like this." He turned the notebook over and showed it to Seleu.
Although fairies will disguise themselves when going out, they only change their hair color, eye color, skin color, and ear shape. The contours of their faces and facial features are basically changed, so if you draw them with a monochrome pen, they can still be used as avatars for "missing person notices."
Seeing this, Shuli gave Kumandi a thumbs up.
As expected of Jingjing, a top student, she has a pretty good brain!
Seryu looked at the portrait of a human head on the paper and frowned slightly.
The goblins looked at him expectantly.
Amanda had never met Chris, but she had heard of his "great exploits." This mischievous goblin almost lost Sperian.
Not long after Sperien was born, Chris went to the orchard to pick fruit. He had a fight with a sekken bird named Deklet. The sekken bird lost the fight, broke off a branch of the fruit tree and ran away.
As luck would have it, Sperian was on that branch and was instantly taken away from the sacred tree.
The poem "Brave Sperian" comes from this.
Amanda loves to hear stories about Sperian, and she herself was once a part of the story.
He was stolen from Dragon Island by dark elves and necromancers when he was a child. If it weren't for Sperien, he wouldn't be alive today.
The three humans, Nasha, Siti, and Hector, were purely curious.
This guy named Chris seems very interesting. Even though Sperian and his friends were often made to cry by him when they were young, they still want to find him.
Ace glanced at the portrait on the paper, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Good painting skills.
As the goblins looked on expectantly, Seleu said, "I don't know him."
"ah?"
The goblins' eyes widened in surprise.
"You really don't recognize him?" Shu Li asked persistently, "Think about it more carefully. Maybe it's not as handsome as Kumandi's, but it's pretty close."
Seryu said, "I'm the Discipline Officer of the Magic Academy. I've been here for eighteen years and have never left the courtyard. I never forget any student I've met. If this Chris is really as fond of pranks as you say, I'm sure he'll be very impressed."
People who love to play pranks and have outstanding personalities will definitely violate school rules frequently and will be the focus of disciplinary attention.
Since he didn't have such a person in his memory, he didn't know this "Chris".
The goblins were disappointed when they got a clear answer.
Shu Li sighed, "Chris didn't even come to the magic academy."
Dixio held his chin and said, "Yeah, why doesn't he come to the magic academy?"
Budno asked, "Doesn't he... have any letters of recommendation?"
Angel nodded: "Very likely!"
Chris was running fast at the time, so no one wrote him a letter of recommendation. Given his personality, he probably wouldn't have gone to Danlov specifically to ask for a recommendation letter.
Kumandi put away his notebook and said, "Chris doesn't like studying."
Chris is notoriously slow to study.
Among the fairies of the same group, he is the most talented and learns everything quickly, but he has a lively personality and does not like to be restricted. He often skips classes. For this reason, he is chased and beaten by the fairies who teach him every day.
But Chris studies as if it were a joke and gets the best grades, which makes the fairy tutors love and hate him.
Kumandi is ten years older than Shuli and other goblins, and knows everything about Chris.
After all, this group of little goblins were also "scared" by Chris.
Shu Li said with a headache: "He is really a unique... guy!"
Angel asked dejectedly, "Does that mean we can't find him?"
Seeing their worried faces, Seryu said, "If you want to find someone, you can go to the Entelin Association and post a missing person mission."
The Entelin Association is an organization that sells intelligence. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy the information you want.
Of course, you can also spend money to post tasks and collect relevant clues.
It was through the Enteling Association that Seleu found his sister.
Today, he and his sister communicate secretly through the Enteling Society and exchange information.
The goblins were very happy and while it was still early, they went to the Entelin Association to issue a missing person mission.
Nasha bit her lip involuntarily, excitement showing in her violet eyes.
Looking for someone?
She hadn't heard from her brother for eight years and was worrying about how to find him, but unexpectedly, there was hope.
She is going to issue a mission to find the prince of Pedam.
At the beginning, she and her brother fled the royal city in two groups: magicians and sword soldiers.
After fleeing all the way, the only one left by her side was the great swordsman Sen Luo. They went through untold hardships and sneaked into the city of Daoto in the Dalia Empire. Finally, they followed the song and dance troupe to the royal city of Adilan.
There was no news of her brother and the people who protected him. Queen Helati sent people to investigate secretly, but there was no news.
Nasha doesn't believe her brother is dead.
Her brother was five years older than her. He started learning swordsmanship at the age of seven and reached the level of advanced apprentice swordsman at the age of fifteen. According to the great swordsman who taught him, his brother would be able to become a formal swordsman in just one more year.
My brother is so outstanding, he will never die easily.
This time she insisted on coming to the courtyard to learn magic, with the intention of finding her brother through her own efforts.
Now, she feels she has made the right decision.
Not only did I meet a group of reliable friends, but I also gained more knowledge.
The atrium is much better than the decadent ancient country.
Team Light stepped into the gate of the Enteling Association. With Seleu as their guide, they found a familiar receptionist and successfully issued the mission to find Chris.
Before issuing the task, Shu Li and the receptionist signed a confidentiality agreement.
Enteling Association will not disclose customer information, so both buyers and sellers of information are safe.
Nasha took out five hundred gold coins from her storage bag and issued a mission to find her brother.
Of course, she did not reveal the content of the mission to her teammates. She only said that a relative had lost a child and had been looking for him for a long time without success. So she tried to post a mission and asked the Entelin Association for help.
The teammates believed it, but Shu Li was the only one who knew Nasha's background and guessed that the person she was looking for was the prince of Pedam.
"It turns out that selling intelligence is so profitable!" Angel said with emotion.
"Isn't it? It costs five hundred gold coins to issue a task!" Diosi said with a bitter face.
The five little goblins reluctantly took out the money they earned from doing daily tasks yesterday, pooled it together, and paid the expensive commission.
"Once we find Chris, we'll make him pay back the money!" Kumandi said coldly.
"Yes! Let him pay back the money!" Budno clenched his fist.
Everyone left the Entelin Association and returned to the Magic Academy.
Seryu had something else to do, so after entering the academy gate, he said goodbye to Shu Li and others and walked towards the teaching building.
Shu Li and others had nothing to do, so they went to the library to study.
Ace returned a few books he borrowed yesterday and selected new books from the bookshelf to make up for the lost books.
Shu Li took a look and showed an expression that said, "As expected."
His human classmate really likes reading novels!
In the evening, Shuli returned to the Elf Kingdom again, played a few games of chess with the elf cubs, and then flew to the Yager Forest to collect the herbs that Efit needed.
Collecting herbs was a time-consuming job, and it took him two hours to finish. He hurried back to the Crystal City, chatted with the Elf King for a while, and then went back to the Magic Academy to sleep.
At five in the morning, he woke up on time, went to Wanaku through the mother tree, and quickly completed the purification work.
Unfortunately, I didn’t meet Efit today. I waited for half an hour, but Efit didn’t show up.
There was no choice but to go back first.
Today is the first day of school at the Saint Villiers School of Magic. All students, including magic apprentices, trainee magicians, magicians, and magisters, have returned to school for classes.
Shu Li and others got up early, dressed themselves, had breakfast in the restaurant, and walked towards the teaching building with great interest.
Farm was holding a fruit, squatting on Shu Li's shoulder, chewing it with relish, turning his round eyes and looking at the students on the road from time to time.
"Don't drip juice onto my magic robe." Shu Li warned the greedy little monster.
"Hmm." Farm sipped the juice to show that he understood.
"He... is also a student in Class 1?" Hector looked at Lu Weixi who stepped into Class 1 with a complicated look in his eyes.
After not seeing him for a day, Lu Weixi's personality changed drastically.
Without any followers following him, the arrogant aura he once had disappeared, replaced by the aloofness of a loner.
Seleu's kicks kicked away his arrogance.
"It's just one class." Dizio shrugged nonchalantly. "If he dares to mess with us again, we'll continue the competition and I'll beat the living hell out of him."
After watching Sperien and Luvisi fight the day before yesterday, he was eager to try.
Shu Li said: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare."
Fritton left that day disappointed and probably wouldn't defend Luvitch anymore. If Luvitch had any sense, he wouldn't have done that.
Soon, ten people entered the classroom.
This is a very spacious tiered classroom. Except for the first row which is empty, the rest of the classroom is full of people.
The appearance of Team Light attracted the attention of most students.
Lu Weixi was sitting in the corner. When he heard the noise, he glanced at it indifferently and turned to look out the window.
Shu Li didn't care where she sat. The first row was good, close to the podium and she could see the blackboard clearly.
The Light Team sat down one after another, waiting for the arrival of the magic instructor.
Farm jumped from Shuli's shoulder onto the table, spit out the fruit core from his mouth, and played with it in his fat and short paws.
The magic apprentices in the back row were whispering to each other, and what they were talking about was naturally the competition between Shu Li and Lu Weixi the day before yesterday.
Shu Li rubbed his ears, pretending he didn't hear anything.
Lu Weixi's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists to suppress the violent anger in his heart.
In the past, anyone who dared to talk about him behind his back would have been severely beaten up.
Fortunately, the magic apprentices who were able to join the first class were all very capable. After chatting for a few sentences, they changed the subject.
"Who is the magic instructor of our class?"
"I don't know, I hope she'll be a gentle and considerate beautiful mentor."
"Perhaps a strict male magic instructor."
"I heard it's a new teacher."
"Does the new teacher have any teaching experience? Our class is an elite class!"
"Don't think about it, you'll know when the person comes."
The little goblins sighed as they listened to their classmates' speculations.
They must not know how terrible the new teacher is!
Wow~ Why can’t I escape Ilio’s teachings even after coming to the human world?
Finally, under the anticipation of many magic apprentices, the magic instructor of Class 1 arrived.
He had long, silky black hair cascading down his back, and wore a shimmering yellow forehead ring inlaid with sapphires, sparkling brightly. He also wore a high-class, ornate magic robe, with a magic emblem representing a mage pinned to his chest, radiating a holy and elegant aura.
When he stood in front of the podium, the classroom was silent. Except for Team Light, all other students showed expressions of surprise and delight.
What a young Dharma Saint!
What a handsome instructor!
What a noble temperament!
Elio glanced around and smiled charmingly.
"Hello, students. My name is Ilio. From today on, I will be your class's magic instructor. I hope we can get along well in the days to come."
The goblins couldn't help but shudder when they saw the familiar smile.
Lu Weixi clenched his fists and stared blankly at the black-haired Mage behind the podium.
Elio glanced around, taking in the expressions of each student. When he met Ace's gaze, the smile on his face froze slightly.
Adjusting his mindset as quickly as possible, he said to the students with a smile, "Now, all students, please leave the classroom and run three laps around the main road of the college."
"What?"
"Run three laps?"
"One lap of the academy's main road is two thousand meters!"
"Are...are you kidding me? We are magicians, not swordsmen!"
"Teacher, can I refuse?"
"Why do we have to run on the first day of class? Who made that rule?"
"I won't run away!"
"That's right, we are here to learn magic, not to run!"
"Even the Lord of Dharma cannot make such an excessive request!"
“…”
Elio was very patient. After the students' discussion died down, he raised his hand and pointed at Luvish sitting in the corner. With a smile on his face, he asked the other students, "Do you know why he lost to Sperian?"
The classroom became quiet in an instant.
